Money Mayweather's fighting Amir Khan next? Not so fast, Khan's reps say.
Khan's reps denied a report that the 26-year-old British welterweight dropped a proposed fight with Devon Alexander in December in order to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May.
"Team Khan would like to dispel recent reports that Amir Khan has pulled out of a potential match-up against Devon Alexander on December 7th, taking up a fight against Floyd Mayweather in May of next year instead," a statement said.
"Contrary to this story, Amir Khan is currently in training camp in San Francisco with the aim of fighting again in December against Alexander once an agreement can be reached."
Khan (28-3) and Alexander (25-1) would be fighting for the IBF welterweight world title.
Mayweather's dominating win over Canelo Alvarez in September was the richest fight ever, a box-office smash at the arena and on television.
Promoter Richard Schaefer said total revenues would approach $200 million upon final count, surpassing the $165 million generated by the Mayweather-Oscar De La Hoya fight. Mayweather earned a guaranteed $41.5 million for the fight.
Mayweather, 36, was as impressive as the ticket sales, outclassing Alvarez and winning nearly every round on his way to a majority decision. He remains unbeaten in 45 fights.
